Three-Dimensional Analysis of Magnetostatic Field by the Boundary Element Method Using Edge Elements

Evaluation of Fracture Parameters by Coupling the Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method

This paper presents a technique to evaluate the fracture parameters by combining the edge based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM) and the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). A semi-analytical solution is sought in the region close to the vicinity of the crack tip using the SBFEM, whilst, the ESFEM is used for the rest of the domain. As both methods satisfy the partition of unity...

Analysis of the Field Synthesis Algorithm, Variable Field Generation, Using Magnetostatic Finite Element Method and Optimization

An overview of the magnetostatic field synthesis method, Variable Field Generation (VFG), and results from applying it to a test case to design magneto-plasma-aerodynamic (MPAD) devices to observe algorithm performance in the MATLAB programming environment are presented in this paper. The algorithm applied to this test case included integrating the Magnetostatic module of the finite element sof...

Computer-aided Magnetic Field Analysis Using the Boundary Element Method

Efficient design of electromagnetic devices requires the analysis of electric and magnetic field distributions. To this end, the boundary element method (BEM) has been shown to be a powerful technique. This paper presents the use of BEM in computer-aided magnetic field analysis. The advantages of BEM over the finite element method (FEM) are stated. The recent introduction of BEM in a generalize...
